Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

Peace is such a wonderful illusion, but it is just that... an illusion. Planet Earth had just recently recovered from a devastating invasion attempt where countless portals were mysteriously created out of thin air, spawning monsters and aliens alike. Even though humans had various superpowers, so did the monsters. The clash between the two sides was brutal, leading to a global crisis that was the end of many. Raven O'Bannon, a sixteen year old girl, was trying to overcome the incident, just like any other. But unfortunately for her, the cage of lies holding her reality together was all shattered apart the moment her little sister died. As if triggering a chain reaction, Maya's death was followed by many tragedies and that kept on flipping Raven's world upside down. First, she had to learn that she's no human, but rather, an alien. She belonged to a race that preyed on souls and could barely survive otherwise, hence the name given to them: The Soul Weavers. Secondly, she was then exposed to the fact that she was the young princess of her race. However, being royalty wasn't good in her case since that meant her subjects wanted her head on a stick. After some investigations, it became apparent that her father, the king, was responsible for destroying their planet and wasting many lives. Obviously, this didn't set well with the elders that now wanted the royal blood as a smoothie. Lastly... no wait, of course it doesn't stop here... One after the other, tragedies just keep on attempting to break poor Raven who was only trying to live her life normally. Follow her along her journey to learn of her thoughts, emotions, and goals. How will she defend against an entire race wanting her dead? What will she do as a demon war threatens to destroy what's left of her sanity? Will she survive the journey with her heart pure white, or will it be dyed black as she let the darkness within take control? *** Arc 0 - The Beginning of a New Era: Countless portals suddenly explode in the air, releasing monsters all around the globe. They wreak havoc, spill blood, and destroy everything like there is no tomorrow! Arc 1 - The Aftermath (Nemesis): The story of two girls who are bound by hatred and envy. One has everything while the other has nothing but a broken mind and a shattered heart! Arc 2 - An Angel's Sin (Heaven's Fall): While diving into the depth of a war between the ancient rulers of the Demon Realm, our protagonist is met with an unknown enemy that has quite the grudge against sinners! Arc 3 - (coming soon) *** NOTEs: The first 88 Chapters are will be part of Arc 0. And let me tell you, they're not perfect (gets better after Chp12+). If you feel like you're not sure about the book yet, I advise you to start with Arc 1, which will be the official start for this novel. However, if you feel like you're patient enough to read through lackluster chapters then, you might as well try Arc 0, it has a lot of good background events (such as the portal incident mentioned in the synopsis) that you might enjoy. I can promise that you'll find it worth the read:D The book is tagged "Yuri" but it won't be focused around that aspect much. Instead, it'll be more centered around fantasy. Alternative synopsis is in the first chapter. *** Chapter ave. length: 1500-3000 words. I'll be publishing daily, but depending on what my school (university) requires, that might change. P.S. I'm so chill, feel free to comment your ideas and thoughts. Also, it's my first book, have mercy on me! Enjoy:) *I do not own the book cover. All credits for original owner.

Battle On Shore - Part 2

* Thousand Foot Krutch - Lifeline *

"HOLY SH*T!" a feminine voice yelled after the loud explosion, "water dude is not kidding, huh? That shot would've easily taken down a skyscraper if aimed properly!"

"Are you alright, my mistress?" a childish voice called while panting.

"Ah Calcer," replied Raven, "thank you!"

"Hehe, I knew you're awesome, my mistress!" the red haired boy said with a wide smile.

"What the heck?" Bella couldn't help but mutter to herself as she descended to the ground to catch her breath.

"Oi, you good?" the crimson-purple haired girl descended next to her and extended her hand towards her and Sara.

Feeling her energy come back, Bella couldn't help but look at the girl in admiration while holding the now unconscious Sara in her arms.

Not only did the young girl just save their lives, but also gave her some energy to make sure she can get to a safe place.

"My mistress is awesome, isn't she?" the red haired boy said with such a cheerful tone that almost made Bella think she was at a birthday party and not a half destroyed city.

Dismissing the red haired demon, Raven pressed her earpiece gently as she had heard Camilla say something on the other side.

Her "friend" that was giving her information about monster locations was obviously Camilla since she had access to that information through the EDA.

While Raven didn't like the idea of being an EDA ranker, she appreciated the help, especially that she knew Mr. Holland knew of their small operation.

"Camilla, I hear you, what's up?" Raven said while holding down on the earpiece.

"R##EN TH### #ERE!" Camilla's voice was lagging much that Raven couldn't hear them. Even though she knew this should never happen with the specific devices they used.

"Camilla I can't hear you!"

"MAYA!! THEY #### ##R MAYA! MANY OF ####!!!"

Raven couldn't hear much, but from Camilla's panicked tone and words it appeared as though Maya was in trouble.

Widening her eyes in realization, her aura flared so violently that the ground cracked instantly under her feet.

Everyone on the battlefield could feel the majestic rage of the mysterious little girl, including the black haired demon that Raven had instructed to go help with the big monster, and the two S rankers there.

Bella felt the golden aura attack her very soul as her knees buckled under her.

Seeing that the girl was about to drop down unconscious, Raven retracted back her aura and instructed Calcer to take care of her.

A split second was all that Raven needed to get back to her original mindset. She couldn't just go and leave the city in ruins, so a quick idea came into her mind.

Feeling his mistress's will, the black haired demon flickered from the battlefield and reappeared in front of Raven, kneeling down.

Raven had her hand extended already touching his void black hair.

Activating her newly acquired Combination Skill "Mana Recharge", and controlling her mana properly, Raven began the naming process, which was similar to a contract in a way.

"Demon," Raven said quickly yet with such grace and rage that it made her look like an experienced queen ordering her troops to battle, "I shall give you a name; from now on, and till the day you die, you shall be called Keith. Serve me and you shall receive my gratitude."

Suddenly, a black golden light enveloped the demon signalling the beginning of the naming procedure.

However, unlike Calcer, Raven felt that something was holding down the process. A third party was trying to prevent the naming.

(Into the Demon World side)

- "Your highness, I thought you were interested in the girl. If I may ask, why are you trying to break the naming ritual?"

"Kfufufufufu! It's nothing much. If that girl is indeed the one we're seeking, then this amount of interference should be negligible to her."

Sitting on his throne, the young royal had a smile filled with extacy as he was testing the girl for the first time. -

(Back to Raven)

Feeling the barrier between her and the red haired demon, and understanding that someone was trying to forcefully eliminate the contract made Raven rage beyond description.

"I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS!" She yelled angrily as her aura turned brilliant white immediately, lighting up the entire city.

It was similar to the incident of the small sun, yet this time it wasn't exactly an attack, but rather raw Radiance.

The Radiance was a result of Raven's second Magic Skill: Brilliant Primordial Radiance.

The only reason she resorted to that was because she needed to finish this and reach Maya instantly.

Needless to say, everyone including the monster and other rankers, even people from other cities could see what was happening since it was all being broadcasted.

(Demon World)

- "YOUR HIGHNESS! Are you alright?" the old butler suddenly shouted as his master had been thrown away from his throne and sent crashing against the floor.

"Kfufufuf-*cough*" the young demon tried to laugh while standing up but to no avail, he could neither laugh nor stand properly.

His little stunt to suppress the naming ritual had almost cost him his life.

'Sven though my soul is in extreme pain, my mind is finally at ease. We've finally found her, the seeker of truth.- the demon thought as he closed his eyes that were bleeding from the pressure in his head.

'I hope you forgive me, when we meet that is.'

*sigh*

(Back to the human plane)

No one could tell for sure what has happened, but one thing that the S rankers, in particular, could feel was the presence of a new entity with enough power to either make them win or lose the war.

A few seconds after the radiant light had faded away, everyone found themselves looking at a young man with an ancient royal garment of sorts.

The garment itself was coal black with mystic bright white patterns across, making it look more majestic.

The man himself, unbeknownst to many that was a demon, had a medium length hair that was void black with a couple of white strands running across.

The white strands made him look young and wise at the same time while also emitting a mysterious powerful aura around him.

"My mistress, you broke the seal..." Keith didn't expect that a naming ritual would break the seal his old master had created.

It wasn't something harmful, but rather to prevent other demons from claiming him their own.

Looking around, he couldn't see or feel his young mistress, but he knew what his mission was.

Clenching his right gloved hand, he looked up the sky feeling better than ever before. He could feel the foreign yet friendly mana running through his body.

"Thank you my mistress," he said sincerely still looking up in the sky, "I shall serve you with everything I have."

***

* Maria's mansion back in Torinto city *

Camilla and Joey were both standing in front of the rest of the group, spells and swords at the ready.

Rain, Axane, and Maria were all surrounding Maya who was the center of attention. Kuru was in her arms ready to switch into his sword form when need arises.

Currently, a group of flying white aliens were filling up the sky above them. They looked like angels in many aspects as their skin and feathery wings were sparkling white.

However, Camilla could tell that their aura wasn't angelic at all. They've been in this position for the past few minutes but no party had attempted to make a move first.

Many of the flying angels were looking at Maya in particular with a mix of hatred and envy, hence why Maria and the others chose to surround her.

The tension was so thick in the air that it made it hard to breath. And to make matters worse, one of the 'angels' decided to land in front of the group.

Landing with with the grace of an owl, the 'angel' looked Camilla in the eyes as he could tell she was the strongest.

"We have come to escort our queen back to our home planet." surprising everyone, he spoke with their own language, rather than making some weird noise like monsters always do.

"F*CK. OFF." Camilla wasn't playing this sort of game and she wasn't handing anyone to a strange alien.

"Through our studies, we have concluded that humans are more likely to obey if we're polite," repeated the winged alien again, "please, let our queen come back with us."

Although he was speaking politely, his aura was anything but.

"F.*.C.K. O.F.F." Camilla repeated slowly for him to take a hint.

"Apparently our calculations were not correct..." he said blankly, "a second resort would be violence, is that a stronger motivation for you to give us back our queen?"

Maya who was listening this whole time was currently past her limits. "Did you not hear her you f*cking dipsh*t? She said F*CK OFF!"

She knew Camilla had already warned both of Jamie and Raven that they needed help, so they only needed to buy enough time for them to arrive.

Maya wasn't stupid and she knew that she in particular was the weakest and had no powers to fight with, but surrendering herself while Raven and Jaimie were only a few minutes away was beyond question.

She would have failed her family and Raven in particular so many times.

"My queen, we don't understand why you've left us, but we have finally found you, please come back with us." the angel's voice was almost too robotic for anyone to even consider alive.

"Stop calling me your queen, I don't even know you, d*ckhead!"

"I understand that. It seems as though you've erased your own memories. We'll fix that." The alien was done talking and started approaching the group.

The rest of the winged aliens started to descend to the ground in a circular formation with the human group in the middle.

"Please, your highness, we'll fix that, we'll fix you." He was getting closer to the group so Kuru turned into his sword form in Maya's hands.

Seeing the demonic black sword in his queen's hands, the angel made a disguted expression, as if about vomit. "So it's true that you have betrayed us!"

Saying that with the same robotic tone, the alien extended his claws as he charged at Maya who blocked with the sword.

CLANK!! CHOP!

The contact only lasted a few seconds as Kuru, in sword form, cut through the alien's sharp claw.

"EEEEEKKKK!!" The collection of aliens screamed loudly deafening the group. Maya had blood running down her ears but she didn't even think about letting go of the sword.

Noticing that the alien was about to charge again, she readied Kuru and herself for a block. "I'm so sorry Kuru, I can't wield your full power so I'm probably just hurting you..."

WWHOOOOOOSHH!!!!!

Blinking twice, Maya was sure she had slashed at the alien-angel thing, but even after blinking a couple of times, she didn't seem to find him around.

"But what was noise I heard- COULD IT BE?" Looking around her, she found herself looking at her party members' confused expressions and injured bodies as they've also had their small clashes with the aliens.

'But where are they?' everyone had the same thought.

Looking up in the sky in search for them, everyone saw something falling down, or rather someone.
